AB  - Argues that organizations should be thought of as cultures rather
than machines, and that managing is as much a social as a technical
process. Suggests that effective leadership, and the successful design
of appropriate organization development programmes, are dependent on
executive understanding and sensitivity to organizational culture.
Describes Schein′s model of culture and illustrates each of its major
elements with examples drawn from the literature and the author′s own
experience. These examples demonstrate the importance and the power of
cultural approaches to understanding organizations in general and the
leadership function in particular. Demonstrates a new set of tools for
mobilizing commitment and enforcing control that can have important
performance implications, and which will be of value to the practising
manager.
